    It's very possible Strong is scapegoating his own shortcomings. At the same time, if BO'B wasted three years of development, that's tough to overcome.

    Both things can be partly true.

    Yep. And the failing may ultimately be on Strong for immaturity issues, etc. But the impetus is on BO'B to try and reach him first and make him a better person/player.

    BoB also gets zero benefit of the doubt with me on anything. He could tell me water is wet and I'm sticking my hand in to check.

    Only person who can fix this is Watson. Go to the owner and say I'm out if he's not.

    Watt is going to the Steelers for a 7th round pick.

    Bob would never trade his try hard clean cut white bread star. After the next season ending injury he's getting a 15 year extension.

    He only trades the ones that act too... something.

    Start flooding his twitter with messages. Watt's twitter account too. Watson and Watt for a huge game saving play during the off season to save the team from O'Brien. Damn...send messages to Watt's wife and Watson's mom too

    Considering O’Brien traded DeAndre Hopkins for a second-round pick, a seventh-round pick for an injury-prone Watt might make sense in his warped mind.

    I’m saying he would send a third round pick with watt because he’s terrible at his job.

    I think I said somewhere this thread is going to get to 350 pages before he actually gets fired, and I think we're still on that pace.

    Did Bill O'Brien want to draft Watson?
